All AMA members should review the FAA’s Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) detail located at:

http://www.modelaircraft.org/news/ama-faa.aspx

From the document, “AMA President’s Perspective, Model Aviation, June 2009“:

The purpose of this ARC, as established in order number 1110.150, was to draft recommendations for the FAA to consider in developing a regulatory basis for the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS).

By definition, radio-controlled model airplanes are considered “aircraft” and the FAA has included model aviation in its effort to create new enabling regulation for sUAS. The ARC comprised roughly 20 members from throughout the sUAS community including representatives of the military, several commercial entities, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Justice, and FAA Air Traffic.

A Link to the Longmont Aircraft Modelers Association was added to the “Local Area Clubs” section on the right.  The field is located just south Dacono, north of Denver.

Welcome to the new Miniature Aero Sportsters web site!

This site was created by me, Sean Kennedy – a fresh new member of MAS, to hopefully provide a way for members and visitors to communicate.

The problem many club web sites have is content creation and maintenance.  If regular club members have to go through one or two people to get something done on a web site, the process usually breaks down and the content will eventually stale.

This site is designed specifically for member use, and has the facilities to allow any MAS member to add content to share with the world at any time.  This site is a “work in progress”, and the look and feel may change a bit in the coming weeks.

Lastly this site was built completely with open-source code that’s portable.  There’s no cost beyond the basic web hosting services, which I already had available.  The reason this is important is it wouldn’t take much to move this site elsewhere if needed, and there’s no club money that needs to be taken away from other important things like runway repair and maintenance in order to run this site.

So click around and experience the new site.  If you have any question don’t hesitate to contact me at sean@miniatureaerosportsters.org.
